"Clear your weekend" Reader Verdict

U.S. Border Patrol agents are dead. The weapons trace back to one man: Cuban arms dealer General Hector Vasquez. The CIA sends Blake MacKay to Cuba with a clean, simple mission. It goes wrong in every possible way. And what Blake finds in Vasquez's files is so much worse than a dead arms dealer — it's a conspiracy that could tip the balance of global power.

Wounded and compromised, Blake has one asset left: Adriana Vasquez — the general's daughter. Brilliant, fearless, and furious. She has her own reasons to want her father's operation destroyed. Blake has no choice but to trust her.

The intel points to Metal Storm — a revolutionary weapons system capable of firing one million rounds per minute with no moving parts. An Al Qaeda arms broker is brokering its sale. A coup is in motion. And the trail leads from the heat of Cuba through the mountains of Afghanistan to the frozen streets of Belarus — where the clock is already running out.

Every ally could be a plant. Every exit could be a trap. And the higher Blake climbs toward the truth, the more he suspects the betrayal didn't start in Cuba. It started at home.

The relentless pacing of Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp series, the geopolitical tension of Brad Thor's Scot Harvath novels, and the covert operations intensity that made Tom Clancy a legend — all in one propulsive thriller.
